"Hearts for Hospice" Tour of Tables Benefit

Oaklawn Hospital’s first annual “Hearts for Hospice” Tour of Tables benefiting Oaklawn Hospice will be held at the Battle Creek Country Club on Friday, July 30.

The Tour-of-Tables is a dinner event with tables that are decorated and set according to a theme by a host who invites guests to their table and/or sells tickets to their guests. John Sims, Jr., event Co-Chair says,“People also have the option of just sponsoring a table and having someone else decorating.”

Themes can be inspired by your dishes, a favorite holiday, sports team, or just about anything. “The key is to be creative and use your imagination,” added Sims.Guests can “Tour” the tables and will be served a delicious dinner served by your table hosts, sponsors or hospice volunteers.

The event will raise funds for Oaklawn Hospice, which provides a comprehensive healthcare program to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual and social needs of persons with life-limiting conditions and their families.

The tour will begin at 6:00 p.m. with dinner served at 7:30 p.m.Live entertainment will be provided by the blues band “Crossroads.” All proceeds will go directly to support Oaklawn Hospice Services.
